A tax overview document does not state the income, only the tax. A UKVI caseworker is not going to wreck his brains to figure out the "income" on which the tax, as shown in the tax overview, has been paid and whether that income is the same as what has been declared to UKVI / HMRC in the past. Likew...

Beyond me why people don't make themselves aware of the forum T&Cs before starting to post on the forum! please restrict your queries to immigration matters - this is not the place to search for solicitors nor to ask about availability / non-availability of PM facility or alternatives. This is not a...

What do you think home office will apply new 3c act or the 3c act was in 2014. I stand to be corrected but AFAIK the "Act" has not changed. The new guidance only clarifies something that was either not clear before (in previous versions of the guidance) or perhaps was being interpreted wrongly and ...

Surprisingly, this requirement is not mentioned in the PBS dependant policy guidance. But only finds mention the Tier 2 (Entrpreneur) policy migrant which is for "principal / main migrants".

Also shows that there is no consistency in how caseworkers follow HMPO's policy regarding this issue.

Please continue with your ILR queries in the existing topic.

If the caseworker cannot see the updated tax information on their systems and if you cannot provide them with written confirmation from HMRC that the income & tax figures have been amended and all tax has been paid (e.g. - through a SA302) then it is almost certain that the application will be refus...

That means UKVI doesn't have your current address!!

No, the letter is sent only once and to the most recent address on their records.

Thanks for the correction, manci!

so lets say her current employer informs UKVI on 1st june 2016. then UKVI takes a decision to curtail leave and sends a letter on 20th Jun 2016. so as you guided she can stay in UK or search for an sponsor by 20th Aug 2016 (20th June +60 days) Yes. But I agree with CR001 that the decision to curtai...

ILR LR REFUSED FOR TAX ISSUES
ILR LR refused because employer did not pay tax
ILR refused on Long residence, tax matter

Your wife's sponsor cannot "cancel the visa" on 01-Jun-16. All the sponsor can do is inform UKVI that the sponsorship has been terminated w.e.f. 01-Jun-16. UKVI will then decide whether to curtail leave or not. Since the current leave is due to expire in 2017, the decision will be to curtail leave. ...

Follow "someone's" advice, IMHO ...

So you were not absent.

Now one can apply for naturalisation and passport together.

Though not sure but I believe this can only be done through NCS, not on your own. But I stand to be corrected on this.

Simply put, you need to go back after your 12 months are over and you may apply to return to UK without serving cooling-off period if you can find a job that pays £155,300 or more.

OCI Application Process

It is the (inefficient, untrained) caseworker who is at fault. There is no requirement for anyone who has applied for ILR on / after 28-Oct-2013 to provide any evidence of fulfilling KoLL requirement. The form AN itself asks the applicant to confirm that he/she fulfilled the said requirement to qual...

No, you started a new topic. Keep posting your queries in this topic (click on "Post Reply").

OP, has your PBS leave expired? If not, when is it due to expire?

Why do you need a letter from an employer if you are applying under LR?

And, please keep your queries in a single topic.
